Featured Projects

blank engine demo showing physics simulation with various 3D objects

In Development Demo

blank: AI Playground

C++20 ECS-based high throughput simulation environment design for RL training. Currently able to achieve ~1000x realtime (RTX3070) for phyiscs simulation utilizing spherical decomposition of dynamic shapes. Demo requires WebGPU enabled browser.

In Development

stryder: Bipedal Locomotion Platform

Transformer-based RL policies for 8-DOF point-foot biped locomotion, using student-teacher distillation for sim-to-real transfer. Built on the blank engine. This is the evolution from veritas project applying the fast update rate of the neural network with the power of transformers. The multi-head attention model seems perfect for the complexity of a walking robot.

nexus chat application showing channels, messaging, and voice features

In Development Early Release

nexus: Decentralized Communication Platform

Self-sovereign, self-hostable, chat platform in Rust with Ed25519 cryptographic identity, real-time WebSocket messaging, and multi-platform clients (desktop, web, CLI). No central authority for storing passwords, identity is generated directly by user with their credentials.

Research

veritas: IK Research Sandbox

Simulation sandbox for training neural networks to solve inverse kinematics, achieving 15x faster inference than traditional solvers with Genesis physics and WandB experiment tracking.
